Hermione's not surprised to find that her hand's cold, for some reason; it seems like it fits with everything else that doesn't fit. She finds her mind ticking away, cataloging all the things that are implacably odd about Ilde, but she manages to avoid looking too much as if she's trying to analyse her.

"It's a culture shock for anyone, I imagine- it certainly is for me, all magic aside- but it certainly helps to have some familiarity with a system of magic, even if it's not the sole system used." She cast a glance her books. "Fascinating, though. I wouldn't have thought any of it possible before, honestly."

Which isn't to say that she exactly appreciates being kidnapped and flung into Baedal, just that it raises some very interesting questions.
